Chapter 38: First-Rate Half-Soul Guide, Huo Yu Hao? (Part 1)
Bei Bei nodded slightly and said, "Although Little Brother entered the Academy not long ago, he is more stable and diligent than his peers. His personality is gentle yet unyielding. Although his first soul ring is only ten years old, if he can develop comprehensively in the Soul Guidance Department, he will definitely be a key factor in the rise of our Tang Sect in the future."
Tang Ya made a decisive decision, saying: "The Tang family has declined to this point in my generation. If we don't make some progress, I'm afraid it will be extinct. How can we face our ancestors? Wang Dong and Yu Hao have gone to the Soul Guide System, so let's start practicing our Tang family's ultimate skill together! Tomorrow, I'll hand over the overall outline of our Tang family's hidden weapons and cultivation methods to him. With my understanding of soul guide device manufacturing, it will be of great help to his learning."
Wang Dong looked at Tang Ya and Bei Bei with some helplessness, thinking to himself, I'm not that diligent little bee like Huo Yu Hao! I'm being forced to work hard! Just thinking about how he definitely wouldn't be able to sleep tonight and would be dragged by Huo Yu Hao to practice, his face couldn't help but turn sour.
The next day, the Wuhun Department of Education issued a notice that first-year students Dai Huabin, Zhu Lu, Huang Chutian and Wu Feng were adjusted to Class 2 for further study.
Undoubtedly, several students have filed appeals, but Slytherin Academy is Slytherin Academy after all. No matter what your identity is, as long as you study here, everyone will be treated equally. The academy will prioritize respecting the teachers' decisions. Moreover, just like Wang Yan said, although these few students were expelled from Class 1, they will still be kept in the end. And for these core disciples, it's not a bad thing for them to receive this blow because of their pride due to their good talent.
After this incident, the atmosphere of Class 1 Grade 1 changed dramatically, with a hint of awe and reverence. Although it couldn't be said that people trembled at the sight of Zhou Wei, at least no one dared to disobey her orders again. Wang Yan couldn't help but admire how, with just one stir, the learning atmosphere immediately became the best among all the classes he had taught.
School life returned to calmness, but this was the case for most students. For Huo Yu Hao, the diligent little bee in Wang Dong's words, every day's life was filled with vitality. Of course, only he himself felt it was vitality, in Wang Dong's eyes, he was simply an iron man...
Every morning, he would wake up to practice the Violet Extreme Magic Eye, and then start a tense and fulfilling day. For Huo Yuhao, daytime classes in the Martial Soul Department were actually the most relaxing. He only needed to use his brain, learn knowledge, study soul master tactics, cultivation methods, coordination with each other, and so on under the guidance of teachers.
Not even at noon will he waste time. After lunch, he must pull Wang Dong together to practice for a while. This not only allows the spirit of the afternoon to be better, but also promotes practice.
Wang Dong thought that he and Huo Yuhao's research on the "Huo Dong Power" was an absolute mistake. Every day, he didn't need to worry about practicing, and when the time came, Huo Yuhao would directly pull him into it. As a result, Wang Dong, who had always been lazy, was forced to become diligent. His soul power grew at a surprisingly fast rate.
After school in the afternoon, Huo Yuhao went to the Soul Guidance Department. He was studying with Fan Yu. These two hours every night were the most difficult for him. Fan Yu's teaching was extremely strict, and his requirements for his own direct disciple were high, even among the Shrek Academy, he could be considered one of the best. When he and Chrysanthemum Head went through this stage with Huo Yuhao, they didn't know how much suffering they had endured.
But what surprised Fan Yu was that Huo Yuhao was like a rubber ball filled with elasticity, no matter how much pressure he was given, he would always bounce back. Not only did he complete the training of soul power perfectly, but also seriously and meticulously, without any discount. Sometimes even Fan Yu felt that he was too strict on him. But Huo Yuhao had no complaints and completed it seriously. Even if he was so tired that he didn't have the energy to return to the dormitory, he never complained. There were several times when Fan Yu personally sent him back to the dormitory. However, after returning to the dormitory, he still refused to sleep. Instead, he asked Wang Dong to help him sit cross-legged and cultivate his soul power to adjust his body.
In the Tangmen's ultimate dark weapon art, Huo Yuhao first used the Forging Method - Chaotic Wind Hammer Technique. This Chaotic Wind Hammer Technique fully utilizes the power of the waist and legs to wield the hammer, making each strike of the forged hammer increasingly powerful, not only conserving energy but also enhancing the forging effect. It is originally a secret that Tangmen does not pass on.
Huò Yǔhào completely relied on self-study to apply the Luàn Pī Fēng Chuì method, even when operating the Xuán Yù Shǒu, both palms were ground into blisters, the skin on his palms was worn away in layers, becoming calluses, and then worn away again. However, he never relaxed for a single day, nor did he ever complain. On the contrary, he took pleasure in it, truly like an iron man, diligently striving with great effort.
Three months later, Huo Yu's chaotic wind hammer method could already be swung continuously for eighteen hammers. Five months later, this number increased to thirty-six hammers. And the highest realm of the chaotic wind hammer method was only eighty-one hammers. When he was able to swing thirty-six hammers in a row, he had already passed the first hurdle of making the soul guide device, which, in Fan Yu's words, meant that the student had surpassed the master.
At first, He Cai Tou spent a whole year to get through this pass. But Huo Yu Hao only took five months. Of course, the Tangmen's ultimate skill, Lu Pao Feng Chui Fa, played a role in it, but Huo Yu Hao's perseverance and fearlessness of hardship were also closely related.
Before long, autumn has gone and winter has come, and then winter has passed and spring has arrived. Eight months have already passed.
Huoyao, Wang Dong, Xiao Xiao and Dai Huabin, Zhu Lu they are in their first year at Shrek Academy has come to an end. Next, it will be the winter break.
Every year, the Slake Academy has a one-month holiday, but this month is not for students to relax and have fun. It's to let them integrate what they've learned in the past eleven months within a month, and work hard to practice. After the one-month break, it will be the promotion exam. Students who fail the promotion exam will be eliminated directly. Therefore, every year's holiday is actually the busiest time for most students. Who dares to really relax?
Soul Guide Device Testing Area Laboratory Twelve.
Next to the huge metal table, Fan Yu stood on either side of Huo Yuhao, quietly watching. Fan Yu had his hands clasped behind his back, but he looked very focused. As for He Caitou, he had his fists tightly clenched, and it was clear that his emotions were somewhat tense.
Huo Yu Hao sat in front of a metal table, his left hand pinching a hexagonal metal block about the size of a walnut, while his right hand held a slender and delicate small knife, carefully carving on the metal block.
His movements were slow, but his hands were steady, and each time the small knife fell, it was very steady and firm.
The metal block was a bluish-gold color, emitting an somewhat strange aura. On it, the intricate patterns of Huo Yu Hao's small knife carvings were gradually engraved.
Huo Yu's eyes emitted a faint golden light, his long gaze didn't even blink, time passed by second by second, but his body was as still as a sculpture, only a few fingers controlled the small engraving knife, slowly engraving under the infusion of soul power. Even the rhythm of the engraving didn't change in the slightest.
He Cai's eyes gradually showed an excited light, Fan Yu was also staring with a strange gaze, and even his hands behind his back slowly clenched into fists.
Finally, when Huo Yu Hao's last slow stroke was finished, and some fine metal shavings were picked out, his movements stopped.
The golden light in his eyes slowly faded away, a hint of fatigue appeared on his face, but when he lifted his head and looked at Fan Yu and He Cai, a brilliant smile burst forth on his face.
"Teacher, senior brother, I succeeded. From now on, I should be considered a first-class half-soul cultivator, right?"
He Cai's eyes were dull as he stared at Huo Yu Hao, "Yu Hao, you...you really succeeded?"
Huò Yǔhào carefully placed the metal block in his left hand and infused it with gentle soul power. Instantly, the metal block emitted a distinct blue glow, and a soft halo transformed into a beam of light that rose up to about a foot high. The blue halo was straight and steady, without any wavering. And the metal block itself emitted a transparent blue color.
"Good, good, good!" Fan Yu finally spoke up, and the excitement on his face revealed just how uncalm he was feeling at this moment.
"Yu Hao, good kid, you shouldn't be a first-rate half-soul master. Although your cultivation hasn't reached that level yet, I can announce now that you are already qualified to be a formal second-rate soul master. You have a talent that ordinary people can hardly match, and also have an unyielding diligence that no one can compare with. Success is not accidental, the harvest of your eight months of hard work!"
He Cai Tou let out a loud whoop, and his even more robust body suddenly pounced on Huo Yu Hao, embracing him tightly before swinging him into the air. Huo Yu Hao's face was also filled with smiles, but his lips were pursed tightly.
Yes, this small metal block that has just been engraved is indeed the core of a second-grade soul guide!
In five months, he completed the foundation of forging and spent another month learning procedures such as molding, casting, quenching, and grinding before finally starting to learn the core array of engraving. This is also the most important step in making a soul guide device.
If it is said that Huo Yu's learning speed was fast, the most important reason is his hard work and diligence. However, when he started learning the Array of Seal Inscription that day, he showed his truly talented side in soul equipment manufacturing.
Huo Yu Hao is more mature than his peers, and he has an innate advantage, that is, his spiritual eyes. With the help of Zixuan Magic Pupil and Spiritual Eyes, his eyesight is at least several times stronger than that of ordinary people.
The core formation is engraved, and many times it fails due to slight errors, but in Huo Yu Hao's case, this situation almost never occurs.
The concept of Soul Guide is gradually introduced, but more important things need to be done. Guess what it is? Hehe.
The last few days of double votes are here, and I'll trouble everyone to cast their monthly tickets for Lao San. Thank you. There will be three updates today. However, the third update will be a bit later, and it will be posted at 12 midnight. At that time, we'll make a push for the rankings. If anyone can't wait, they can look again tomorrow.
